Explain why there is a need for world development (Q2)
There is a need for world development because the countries known as Less Developed Countries are still poverty stricken because of Global Inequality. This means that the wealth and the resources amongst the worlds population is not evenly spread meaning that the average Bangladeshi has a GDP of $160 a year whereas an average Briton has a GDP of $8460. The worrying thing is that this Gap between the rich and the poor is increasing not decreasing. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, stopping developing countries.
Reasons for lack of development and global inequality is due to the many wars that have taken place in places like Sudan in Africa which has killed 4 million southerners, many fled the country for better living standards as most of them were starved and malnourished as they could not earn enough money to feed themselves or buy crops. There are many other similar stories of civil wars in Africa. This is because in the 19th Century the European empires split Africa into pieces meaning that tribes were split up, causing civil wars with opposing tribes. The countries also had another problem, the dominant tribe in a country would oppress the weaker tribes in the country. Also many countries have fought wars because of political differences, and corruption within the country.
